“A fragment of La Sainte Famille avec Sainte Élisabeth et le petit Saint Jean by Simon Vouet served as an excuse for me to start ‘messing up’ the canvas and resolving part of the composition of this painting called El almuerzo / ‘le déjeuner’.” Oil on canvas, 300 x 260 cm. 2023 This one will be exhibited at @galeriasenda this september✨

‘Los galeristas’ Some people asked me why the background paintings are cut off… well, there’s always a significant part of each sale that goes to the gallerist. And this was my way of representing that. ✨ Oil paint on canvas 2023-2025 This coming September 18th, I’ll be opening an exhibition in Barcelona at Galeria Senda, where there will be 5 oil paintings and a series of small oils. Stay tuned! 🙏

Oil paint on canvas, 2021-2025. This painting is part of the early beginnings of the Vestigio series, which were exhibited last year in Prague. At the time, It was not finished, it remained in progress, suspended till it got solved.

These are fragments from a painting titled “Los galeristas” (The Gallerists) 2024, which will be part of my upcoming exhibition “Preludio” at Galeria Senda this September. This show will feature some of the paintings I’ve been gradually sharing with you here over the past weeks. Stay tuned, more coming soon. #painting #exhibition #preludio #Barcelona

It turned out a bit weirder than the rest, but I think it still fits the series . The idea was to keep it in line with the “Three Graces” and “Le déjeuner” pieces…It went through a lot of changes, and as always it’s nothing like what I first imagined 🙃 This one will be part of the show at Galeria Senda on Sept 18 in Barcelona Parallel chords. Oil on canvas, 2023–2024.

A look into the process behind the lithographs I shared a few days ago ✨ Huge thanks to everyone who got one — since they’re kind of experiments, I wasn’t sure how they’d be received... but they sold out faster than I expected! Really happy to share that all the pieces will be part of an exhibition at the Museu de Granollers this November. Video by @elenadesala 🎥

Although I do believe there’s still a long way to go, I wanted to share these small-edition prints with you. Originally, I hadn’t planned on incorporating collage into these prints, but in order to resolve some areas that I felt weren’t working, I decided to go in that direction. It ended up being far more labor-intensive than creating a conventional print, since every piece has been cut and glued by hand. That means that, between the slight variations in color and the hand-cut elements, no two pieces are exactly the same. You’ll know where to look if you’re curious ✨ ⠀ Greyhound I & II Collage composed of a 6 color (main print) and 4 color lithograph (small pieces) 46.5 x 33.5 cm / 18.3 x 13.2 in Edition of 40 — signed & numbered ⠀

This painting is called “La entrada al infierno” — painted back in 2021. It was originally meant for an art fair where, honestly, it would’ve made sense. It didn’t make it there in the end… but! I’m happy to say it’s finally being exhibited this September in Barcelona, alongside other works. 📍 More details coming soon

A little glimpse of what happened at the studio a few weeks ago — so lucky to have a working lithography press in the space, and even luckier to have the incredible team from @litografie_ricni (all the way from Prague!) bringing it to life. 🙌✨ #Printmaking #lithography Video by @gloryafterpeace

Some details from paintings that will be part of the exhibition at @galeriasenda in Barcelona on September 18th. More soon ✨

I was planning to share a bit more about these prints, but after sending out the newsletter yesterday... they sold out. If you’d like to hear about future releases, you can always write us an email or subscribe to the newsletter ❤️ thanks for your support. ⠀ Some exciting results came out of my recent experiments. I’m completely fascinated by the detail and texture that traditional stone lithography can create. It’s such a magical process, and one I’m eager to keep exploring... soon more! ⠀ 6-color Lithography 📏 28 x 37 cm (11 x 14.5 in) ✍️ Signed & numbered by the artist 🎯 Edition of 20 (Toro) / Edition of 40 (Horse)

Maison Hermès Ginza Window Display @hermes Tokyo, Japan February 20, 2025 until May 27, 2025 2025.2.20(木)~5.27(火) #hermeswindows メッセンジャー El mensajero Acrylic paint on board panel © Photo by Satoshi Asakawa Created for Maison Hermès Ginza, February 2025 For this project, I played with the story of Hermes giving Perseus his winged sandals to fight Medusa — which from her blood Pegasus is born. The idea was to make a theatrical collage inside the windows from the incredible Maison Hermès in Tokyo (designed by Renzo Piano✨). The two pieces have some references to paintings from Von Menzel and Velázquez. Thanks to the all the amazing people that was involved in this ❤️
